BIG NEWS


I have some very big news.
We are moving!!
We are taking a leap of faith (a very HUGE leap of faith), 
selling our beloved Fox Hill, and
moving to our ranch in Bluewater, New Mexico.
I can hardly believe it myself.
We will plan on building an all-solar (off-the-grid) home on 
the 9000-acre Nielson family ranch property. 

One late afternoon as I was driving through my neighborhood on 
my way home, it hit me. 
 Wham! Lightning, "You need to move to the ranch."  
Do I need to move? Really? To the ranch in New Mexico?
I listened more intently as I drove through my tree-lined neighborhood.
I felt inspired, and I felt strangely happy and peaceful too.
I got closer to Fox Hill and looked at the darling quaint 
home I designed and built with Mr. Nielson.
This was supposed to be our forever home. This was it.
I was living in my Provo, in my neighborhood, and in my dream home.
Moving? Really? Truly?
Again, I felt strangely peaceful and happy.
I went home, knelt down in my dark closet, and spoke to God out loud
 like He was in my closet with me.
"Father, are we supposed to move?" I asked. 
"We are happy here; 
you know, we built this home as our forever forever home. 
Is this truly what you are asking us to do?"  
Again, I felt peace.
"Ok, we'll do it. It will be really hard, but I can't deny this feeling,
and I also know that listening and obeying will bring happiness,
prosperity, and opportunities that will bless my family.  
I don't see how right now.
 I don't see a way, but Father, I trust you".

I waited a few days before calling Mr. Nielson to tell him of my inspiration
and revelation. I wanted to be sure I felt good, and I did.
I will undoubtedly share more about our epic move as the days pass.
There are so many components, 
so many moving pieces, so many feelings,
so much change, and so fast.
